The President Likes Mr.. Pendeton for the
pedo Boat, and What 1t Is Expected to Do.
WILL NOT STRIKE BACK.

The President Intimates that He Doesn't
Wish Action ON the Retaliation Bills.
Special to the indianapolis JournsE.
WASHINGTON, Feb 9-It is pretty generallv
understood to night that President Cleveland in-
timated to Democratic members of the House
committee on foreign affairs, who called upon
him to-day for the purpose of consulting in re-
gard to the proposed retaliatory legislation to-
ward Canada on the fisheries question, that he
did not want any action at the hands of Con-
gress, and that efforts will be made by Demo
Gratis in the House who indorse the administra-
ton to smother rot only the Senate bill but
that of the House A good deal of feeling is ex-a
pressed by Republicans and others who have the
best interests of the American fishermen at
heart over the fact that members of the commit
tee on foreign affairs should wait upon the Pres
ident and offer their services in helping that
official out of any embarrassment he is likely to
be subjected to in executing the proposed law to
compel respectful treatment at the hands Of
Great Britain
The master Of the Democratic party, Chair
| man Belmont, seems to be in a very uncomfort-
| able situation just now. His father, August
| Belmont, of New York, is agent of the Roth
schild family. the wealthiest in all Europe and.
of course, does not want anything done by Con-
gress which will Illustrate his English business
connections. The administration does not de-
sire to be compelled to assume pugilstic atti-
! tude towards people who, for the advance
ment of free trade, is lending pecpniary assist
| ance in its campaigns, and also desires no legis-
| lation. The people of this country, however,
| demand it, and if there is no action, will hold
| the Belmont family, frst and the admiuistra-
tion, lastly, responsible.

BERLIN, Feb. 9-The Catholic Bishop of
Limburg has forbidden the clergy Of his diocese
to take part in any agitation against the septen-
nate BILL He declares that in view of the recent
note of Cardinal Jacobini, giving expression to
the Popes WISH that the Catholics of Germany
help the position of the papacy by assisting
Bismarck to carry the army bill, thus securing
his friendship and influence, the newly elected
members Of the Center party in the Rechstae
for Limburg must not be impeded by ante
election pledges from carrying out the wishes OF
the Vatican. It is believed that all other Ger
man Catholic bishops will pursue a similar
course.
The Munich Allgemeine Zeitung publishes
Cardinal Jacobnis letter to the nuncio at
Munich It is dated JAM 80. The Cardinal says
that in view of the impending revision of church
laws, the Pope desires that the Center party sup
port the septennate bill in every possible way,
and concludes: "It is we'll known that the gov
ernment attaches the greatest Importance to the
passage of the BILL IT, by its adoption, it should
be found possible to avert the danger of war in
the near future. the Center would render
kTodb SoTflc0 bO Inc fdtlCdu anu
to the cause of humanity in Europe
by supporting the bill. In the contrary
| case. the hostile attitude of the Center would
be considered unpatriotic, and dissolution of the
Reichstag would cause embarrassments and un
certanties to the Center party.
Cardinal Jacobini instructs the nunco *
urge the leaders of the Center to influence thei
colleagues in favor of the septennate, and as
sures them that such a course would greatly
satisfy the Holy Father.
The North German Gazette accuses DR.
Windthorst and Baron Frankenstein of keeping
secret the first letter from the Pope, while ex
| erting pressure upon the Center to vote agains
| the septennate.
! The Cologne Gazette says it believes the gov
ernment had confidential. not official, knowledg
of the letter, and that it was because the Cente
leaders withheld the letters from the party.

farm house to the barn. The body was horribly

remains tramped into the mud The body was
found by two young men, neighbors of the fam

gaze. The floor of the kitchen was covered with
blood; and the body of Dunham's little daughter,
two years DID, lay near the door, her throat cut
from ear to ear. Mrs. Durham lay by the stove,

wife was but twenty-five. The neghbors and
relatives say that they never have lived happily
together. Early last summer Durham had a

Daily Republican., 1887-01-13

In the City Court at New Haven,
Con-, Saturday, Judge Pickett
rendered a decision in the cases of
William II. Wallace. assistant super
intendent of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, and
Stacey B. Opdyke, superintendent OF
New Haven and Northampton road,
accused of conspiracy by Thomas +.
Meany, who charged them with
"black listing" him. The accused
were fined $50 each. They will un-
doubleday appeal from the decision.
The Judge in his decision said that he
was clearly of the opinion that con
spiracy designed b hinder any man
from putting his labor on the market
when, where and for such compensa-
ton as he may agree Tor is equally
criminal with any conspiracy designed
to hinder the sale of merchandise OF
any producer or dealer, and is more
disastrous in effect than any other form
of conspiracy except that to take life.
To convict of such conspiracy circum
stantial evidence 10 competent and may
be conclusive. 1t is sufficient If it i:
shown that the parties had mutua
understanding to the common design
and the part each was to perform il
the attainment thereof. The cour
was satisfied that Wallace and Opdykt
had a mutual understanding that {
man not approved by one should not
be employed by the other. This was
to all intents and purposes boycott
upon the individual.
